What is the most pressing global issue - if any?

@sogdianrock Even if there may be problems that affect more than one nation, the solutions should not be the same in every nation since cultural environments are different.

This is not my only concern about a global government. The only way to control eight billions of people is a totalitarian government. It does not have to take the shape of 20th century dictatorships with uniforms and parades. It would be much subtler. Making people totally dependant on the state through a basic income, for instance. More Brave New World than 1984.

hi Cierzo ·
I support Universal income. I simply do not find world or regional government as a threat. In politics Subsidiarity is the principle that a central authority should have a subsidiary function, performing only those tasks which cannot be performed at a more local level. For example "the Maastricht Treaty reasserts the rights of member nation states through the subsidiarity principle". Obviously Brexit suggests more people share your view that organisation of nations states is a terrible thing.
I am still watching the film Oh What a lovely War btw. It is a long film. Not as long as WW1 though.

@sogdianrock I am not a nationalist at heart. I support nation state now against global state. When that threat disappears, I will support cities against the nation state. I am for the tribe, small group of individual with a similar cultural background and common interests for the future, that known each other and therefore can choose the more skilled onez to rule.

Maastricht treaty says that? Then the EU is even more hypocrite than I thought, since EU institutions are taking more and more power and threatening governments who dare to disagree, like the Hungarian and Polish ones.

Military Spending in the United States. In fiscal year 2015, military spending is projected to account for 54 percent of all federal discretionary spending, a total of $598.5 billion. (FIRST IN THE WORLD)
The Korean People's Army's annual budget is approximately US$6 billion. (46th IN THE WORLD)

hi Wraithorn
I would not argue with that analysis but the question here is why does it matter that humans are divided - what does problems do our lack of unity create? I think plastics in the beans is most upsetting. I do not eat fish but I love the seas.

hi Unlearn
I thought it was the other way around. People waking up from zombiedom.
